Things that make me happy right now
1. The kittens! They are getting big, so look half-grown now at 4 and 5 months. But Wash and Zoe are the drivers of normality, forcing me to a schedule so I'm more productive. Their messes certainly keep me busy.
2. Media: I've been working my library card hard with renting DVDs and books. Lately I've seen:
and other films.
Also, I didn't care for Orange Is the New Black (I wanted to shank Piper) despite the great acting and writing, and I did enjoy Anthony Stewart Head and Eve Myles in You, Me & Them(series 1).
3. Books! I've been reading tons of books while unemployed, and have nearly completed the Goodreads Challenge goal I set of 365 books read in 2016. I can't even list all the great books, but I did want to call out this one because I want fanfic for it (f/f and m/m): Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks is a wonderful YA manga and I think adults would also like it:

4. Unemployment! I won't feel that way when I run out of money (ha!) but for now I am so loving the time to heal.
2. Media: I've been working my library card hard with renting DVDs and books. Lately I've seen:
- the documentary Jane's Journey (Jane Goodall is so inspiring)
- Gainsbourg (love the animated sequences and the musical performances)
- Snowden
- Hector and the Search for Happiness, because I adore Simon Pegg
- Sea of Trees, directed by Gus van Sant, with an outstanding Matthew McConaughey
- Eight Days a Week, which reminded me of my childhood love of The Beatles
- Captain Fantastic, with a wonderful cover on the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR3rJ5fTIB4
- Match, with an outstanding Patrick Stewart, Carla Gugino, and Matthew Lillard
and other films.
